n Rare Opportunity Once More
offered Our Community,

DR.. Couden, the celebrated specialist
of Cancer and all Chronic Diseases, has
been solicited by j. 3. Childers aud
others similarly afflicted to return to
Pulaski for the purpose OF treating
their cases. We feel ic our duty to in
sist upon ali persons afflicted with any
chronic trouble to be sure to consult
him. We met the doctor while he was
here last and we are ready TO speak la
the highest terms of him. He has no
equal in his specialties. Those afflicted
with Cancer, Hemorrh oides, Piles, Ca
tarrh, Opium Habit, all Diseases of the
Throat and Lungs, in fact all Chronic
Cases, surgery or all kinds or debilita-
ted bodies, should not fail to consult
him. All character of skin diseases sue.
cessfully treated. No matter what
your trouble, consult DIR. Couden.
We published some time ago the re-
markable cure of Uncle Hugh Yokley
OF Campbellsville, which was regarded
by our home physicians who saw it as
most remarkable recovery. He is now
in perfect health. r. N. Herbert, Nj.
D. and G. S. Upshaw, Nj. D. were " it.
nesses to this wonderful cure. Rev. G
w. Mitchell of Athens, Alabama, is also
familiar with Mr.. Yokley's cure.
We would advise all afflicted to con-
suit the doctor Immediately on his ar
rival and place themselves under his
care 20 as to give him ample time for
the treatment. The doctor will remain
in Pulaski from Decent Der 10th to 23rd.
We could give hundreds of cases cured
by DR.. Couden in this state and
throughout the south. We will men

that the Tennessee and Alabama
coal and iron regions is destin ed
quickly to be the central iron pro-
ducing region in American. This
is the settled opinion of the country
north and south.
Hon. Benton McMillin told the
writer the other day that Mr.. Craw-
ford, the millionaire iron maker who
is building railroad from Leba-
non to the Cincinnati Southern,
told him perhaps year ago, stand
ing in his own front door in
Pennsylvania and looking out over
his magnificent furnace under full
blast that cost half million, that
be realized that his furnace must
soon shut down-it could not com
pete with the south.
This fact granted, then what?
Man does not live by iron alone but
by every industry that proceedeth
from the hand Of invention. The
colossal iron interests centering in
these regions draws capital, but
something must he done outside of
iron.
Decatur is the pioneer southern
city in multiformity of manufacture
ing production. 1t is destined to
manufacture the iron that the other
rich cities make into all its mani
fold shapes. 1t is to handle cotton
in every phase from the bale to the
shelf. 1t will be headquarters for
builders material in all forms. 1t
goes into glass, into chemicals, ETC.,
and it is reaching into all the rami-
fed limits of diversified manufac-
lures. The list of manufacturing
plants located there within the past
months is a most marvellous tes-
timonial of the trutnfulness of these
statements.
Here is where Decatur's giant
strength lies. Here is the rock
bottom! A glance at the map by
the eagle eye Of Judge Bond last
January told him these prophetic
truths. He saw the broad Tennes-
see make junction with two COM
petitive railroads at q point on the
borders of and midway between the
finest iron and coal deposits on the
continent and he saw in an instant
it's possibilities and set about &C
complishing it. Look what has
been done in ten months.
What wonderful expression of
confidence in the situation when
Birmingham man comes to Decatur
and buys three of the highest priced
lots and guarantees to have a $780,
900 opera house open on them Sep.
l, 1888! Starts in an open field I!
Where are the people coming from
to patronize such costly structure?
Go down there, reader, and see the
teeming rush and your prophetic
eye can see the people who will be
there to greet Booth or Mary An
derson or Langtry or 10 Jefferson or
Milton Mobiles st the grand open
ing.

ern last Monday. One can hardly
push through the crowd of work
men that are upon it and it is al

enough room between the stones fol
the grass to grow. Albuquerque is
a town about the size of Columb ia,
but not a pretty town by good
deal. Here orr train was besieged
| by q horde OF indian women selling
apples about the size OF o wal nj
After leaving Albuquerque we saw
any number Of Indian villages, the
houses being built OF mud, or adobe,
and each village having its Catho-
lie church, also built of mud, with
some attempt at architectural beau
Fty. From Albuquerque until we
reached the pine forests of Arizona
the scene was one continual success
sion Of rocky mountains and alkali
plains. Between Albuquerque and
Flagstaff, Arr, a distance of $50
miles, there are no towns worthy of
the name. At the latter place,
which is 1856 feet above the level of
the sea, the snow-covered peaks of
the San Francisco Mountains could
be seen. Flagstaff is quite lum-
Der town and seems to have very
delightful climate. / should ina
CINE it would be a good place for
consumptiyes.
At Williams, a small town further
on, we saw cowboys lassoing refrac
tory cattle. 1t was quite novelty
TO most of the passengers. An
amateur photographer among the
party took an instantaneous view
OF the scene. AS our train was a
special, We had to keep out of the
way Of all regular trains, freights
included; therefore, as much time
was spent on sidetracks as in run
ming. At every stopping place peo-
pie on the different cars would get
off and mingle together. At some
places jack rabbits would be chased,
while at others burros and squaws
with papooses on their backs would |
attract the attention of the curious |
There were about 600 people GU the
train and not drunken man was
seen during the whole trip. Az
Peach Springs, Arizona, an accident
happened which cast gloom over
the whole party. AS the first sec
ton was pulling out of the station
1t ran into an open switch, throwing
the engine on its side and deploi
ishing two baggage cars. The en-
gineer and a machinist who had /
gotten on few minutes before were
instantly killed. The brakeman es-
capped by jumping. None of the
passengers were hurt. This caused
4 delay of twelve hours. Nothing
of interest occurred until we cross
ed the Colorado river and entered
California. Here at the Needles we
saw specimens of the Mojave In
dams. Surely Longfellow never
saw this tribe, or he would not have
written "Hiawatha," They are all
dirty and lousy, and | have my
doubts that they ever take a bath

bucks were dressed in a Turkish
bath costume-that is, a breech-

Prof. Frank NJ. Smith, state su-
perintendent of instruction, did not
make his advertised address at
Martin College last Friday night
because he could not make train
connections. We had intended to
give him q piece of our mind for ii,
but he made such amends for it
next day in his admirably sensible
address and is so affable and gen
tlemanly thet we had to forgive
him. He spoke Saturday at the
court house to a small audience of
teachers and directors and few In
terested laymen.
He congratulated Pulaski on her
admirable system of public schools
and predicted q career Of usefulness
and popularity for them because Of
the great good they would do in
spreading education and in the
large benefit they will be to the
town. He said that wherever free
graded schools were established the
towns had shown a decided I'M
provement. He urged the directors
to see that better school houses
were built and the teachers to re
fuse to teach in old wind-riven log
houses any longer. He drew a pie
ture of the old-style log school hou-
ses and said there were ten thousand
of them in Tennessee. He said there
are too many schools. Directors
are too accommodating to locate
schools to suit everybody. The
most eligible central place IN the
district ought to be selected and all
the schools consolidated into a
graded school. He declared that
Is cents tax is not sufficient to
maintain good schools in Giles, and
he urged the teachers and directors
to make good schools and thus
show what good they are doing and
thus work up a sentiment and de
mand for more taxes. The magls-
trates would always do what the
people wanted and the proper way
to do is to make higher tax popu-
lar with the people and then the
court would levy il.
He urged more care in selecting
teachers. School teaching is no,
sought after because the people do
not appreciate it and the pay is too
small. superintendent ale gener
ally too lax in giving certificates
and in many places the schools had
fallen into ignorant and lncompe-
tent hands. de did not undervalue
the work of women but he declared
that in order to maintain a success
Jul graded school there must be a
man at the head of it-business
principles and executive ability.
He I'D Used the superintendent TO

A SOLID FOUNDATION.
What is Under Decatur to Bear ItsOn-
ward to City.

Diversified Industries! That is
Decatur's talisman.
An editorial statement in the
American Tuesday conveyed the
astonishing intelligence that the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
Company's pay roll last month was
$l0l, 900. This $1O1,O0O to pay
laboring people was mainly drawn
from New York"
The Birmingham Age asserts
with statistical accuracy that near
ly 300 buildings have been cree
ted in that city within a year cost
ing 81, 100000.
Mr.. j. c. Fuller, president of the
association of charcoal iron workers
who recently visited this country
in a body, and large manufactur-
er of iron, Pennsylvania ssaid:
81 have to-day witnessed what ]
have hitherto considered existed
only in the imagination of the en-
thusiast. | have seen coal, ore and
limestone in almost fabulous depos
its in so close proximity to one an
other as to undoubtedly assure tc
Alabama the honor of becomi 9
one of the foremost iron producing
regions of the world"
Mr.. Lewis Jones, formerly o.
Wheeling, w. Va, said to the
Wheeling Register last week:
cit is a great country for iron
manufacture, but great as it is, we
have seen but the commencement
predict that in ten years from
this time the territory from Chatta
nooga, Tenn, to Birmingham, will
be the greatest iron-producing re-
gion in America. 1t cannot but be
so, with the natural advantages i,
possesses. Why, we can turn GU,
pig iron there at cost of between
So and SO per ton, while the best
you can do in Wheeling or Pitts
burg is about ST."

which Decatur predicates her ex-

own Judgment. We intended to go
more into detail but shall have to
reserve some matters to which we
want to refer.

DIR. Kelley made an egregious
mistake at the beginning in criti
cizing DIR. Gamblers ability. He
has shown a disposition to back
down from the start, evidently
realizing that he had gotten his
foot badly into it. He has been
worsted at every point and has
been forced into most humiliating
attitude. He has possibly avoided
for a time the $500 circuit to which
The CITIZEN prophetically as
signed him, but he does it at the
expense of his manhood. 1t makes
one feel sad to see such proud
man humiliated.
The CITIZEN week before last
said:
They will get DR.. Kelley's scalp yet.
Mark it well! Car McTyeire doesn t
slow preacher to eat pie long after he
incurs his imperial displeasurc. Kelly
will be out on $500 circuit before the
car dies.
The CITIZEN last week said:
And now comes the North Alabama
conference, in session at Tuscaloosa,
add asks DR., Kelley to resign as mission
airy treasurer OF the general confer
ence. Who presided at Tuscaloosa
Is it religious intolerance, or just mere
ly notice that "you shall not think
unless you think like me?"
And now comes the information
that Bishop McTyerie introduced
the resolution into the Alabama
conference. DR.. Kelly will do well
to order him a 4eg scalp for emer-
gencies. Mr.. Gambler has KICKED
up enough hsdes in Tennessee for
one season.
